Review by D. Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

Robinson’s story neatly merges the disparate worlds of Idaho and Puerto Rico, the questions involving family legacy and truths, and the impact of a woman’s murder as the years pass.
Libraries and readers seeking a novel nicely steeped in Puerto Rican culture, investigative twists and turns, and the intersection of family truths and lies will welcome how Under the Tree Ferns provides sinuous connections between characters whose ambitions and perceptions shift as new realizations emerge.
Replete with a powerful sense of community and individual responsibility, Under the Tree Ferns is a story that proves hard to put down, coming full circle in an unexpected manner to reveal a real treasure of discovery." Read More
Review by Alma Boucher, Readers’ Favorite: reviewed 10/17/25

"The story immediately caught my attention and held it throughout. The plot unfolded at a comfortable pace that allowed me to properly absorb all the information. The writing was captivating, and with all the revelations that emerged, I was eager for the mystery to be unraveled. The unexpected twists kept me anxious with anticipation, and I found myself flipping through the pages as fast as I could to discover what would happen next. The chapters flowed smoothly between Eduardo and Pamela without detracting from each other. They complemented each other, and I was able to form a much better picture of all the events. The book was excellently written from beginning to end, and I could not put it down; I was too afraid I would miss something." Read more
What Readers Say About the Book
Able Greenspan, MBR Bookwatch, Midwest Book Review
Kathryn L. Robinson's story moves back and forth in time and place, but keeps these shifts logical and easy to understand as Pamela reflects on the events that brought her to Puerto Rico, and then led her to abandon a sunny island climate for the faraway chill of Idaho.
[Robinson] takes the time to embed the story with a solid sense of place, capturing Puerto Rico's culture and changes through succinct descriptions. Read more

"Historical mystery fans will love the complex plot, engaging characters, and vivid descriptions of the Puerto Rican rainforest in Robinson's beautiful coming-of-age story."
